Concrete Couch bought Concrete Coyote 5 Years ago in April 2019.

For the past 5 years we have hosted over 2500 free programs and events at the property and this former 7-acre industrial waste site has been transformed into a 7-acre community park.

Concrete Couch wants to celebrate all the hard work community members and volunteers have done at Concrete Coyote by hosting a celebration.

Concrete Couch will be offering some fun, free community service activities.

Come out to Concrete Coyote to help build a trail, create an art project, help restore the environment and more.

At Noon the party begins.

We'll have:

• Free food
• Music from Concrete Couch's Jam Band
• Speeches from some community members
• And more!

A maker is someone who creates – to be innovative, to solve problems, to bring something beautiful into the world, or simply to have fun.

They have an idea, and they bring it to life.

Making can encompass just about anything, from high tech to low tech to no tech, from art to fabrication to artistic fabrication, from needles to table saws to software.

Join us for the event as we spend the day celebrating ingenuity in the Pikes Peak region – by tinkering, thinking, and, of course, making! Past experiences include:

• Paper rockets
• Lego builds
• Local makerspaces
• Cosplay
• Whittling
• Cardboard creations
• 3D printing

And so much more!

Want to share what you make?

The application for exhibitors is available on our website!

Homelessness is a complex and growing problem in America.

It cannot be “solved”, but it can be managed, and some approaches work better than others.

At a time when cities its size have thousands of unsheltered homeless on their streets, Colorado Springs has less than 400.

Meeting Homelessness with HOPE explores why this is so.

This is the story of one community’s approach to homelessness based on compassion and collaboration that can be measured by results and outcomes.

May it inspire you to do what you can in your sphere of influence to help your homeless neighbors find their way home.

Westside Community Center is excited to open our multipurpose room for homeschoolers to join together for fun and socialization!

All ages welcome
